MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski on Friday ripped a panel of male pundits on the Fox Business network who were upset on Wednesday by a report that said women were the primary source of income in 40 percent of U.S. households.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson told host Lou Dobbs that the idea of female breadwinners went against nature. Fox News political analyst Juan Williams also lamented the disintegration of marriage and contributor Doug Schoen warned that it could undermine our social order.
That was like caveman central! Brzezinski exclaimed on Friday. What the heck was that?
The fact that this day in age that we could have men talking that way is stunning, panelist Donny Deutsch agreed.
Were in the middle of a generational divide, co-host Joe Scarborough explained sarcastically. And, you know, Erick, my good friend and hes a good friend of mine Ericks 65 years old.
But, no, were in a transition here, Mika, Scarborough continued. And for a lot of guys, its difficult.
I would try and counter their arguments and say the problems with our society or our social order or whatever else it was were so concerned about was them, the cavemen, Brzezinski insisted. They cant take it. They cant handle it.
Theyre struggling through a tumultuous time, Scarborough snarked.

Not to mention the whole "cooties" issue which they didn't even bring up!

(38,437 posts)First, you get a gaggle of neanderthal males to gather and discuss the science behind their sexism, and one by one we are having conservative women starting to yell at them.
Is this a bizarre attempt by Fox to lure women back into the fold?
